Description Graeme Humphries 2003-11-12 20:16:06 UTC

Create a directory with a name that contains the number sign (like "dir #1"), put an image in it, and then try to view that image in Nautilus by double clicking on it. On my system, I get a repeatable error where Nautilus complains "Loading of image dir  failed. Reason: file not found." Note that the double space after dir is intentional. It looks like it may be accidentally doing some sort of shell replacement or something instead of just getting the named dir.

cant reproduce it

what nautilus & gnome-vfs version are you using ? try updating to the latest in portage (might be ~)

Comment 2 Graeme Humphries 2003-11-15 13:04:41 UTC

I've got nautilus-2.4.0 and gnome-vfs-2.4.0. When I have time I'll upgrade both to the ~x86 versions and see what I get.

Comment 3 aethyr 2003-12-07 00:48:48 UTC

I can also reproduce this with nautilus-2.4.0 and gnome-vfs-2.4.0

I'll try it with newer versions later.

I found this on GNOME's bugzilla which might also indicate it's been fixed upstream:

Can't reproduce.  Works fine with nautilus-2.4.1-r2, gnome-vfs-2.4.1.

Comment 6 Graeme Humphries 2004-01-27 17:32:53 UTC

Well, looking at nautilus-2.4.1-r2, it seems fixed now, so I'm assuming this was fixed upstream (as reported), and this can be finally closed.
